Genesis of EBCx Workshop

• Many contributing reasons for workshop series – No training available on actual EBCx activities

– Concept complimented existing PEC Cx classes

– Regular students were asking for more hands-on

– PEC energy savings was not persisting

– Products from class supplement existing building documentation

– Opportunity to apply principles to other facilities and quantify energy savings

– Excuse to work with Dave Sellers and other FDE staff

• First workshop series began in May of 2005

• Independent projects introduced in third year (2007)

• Primary student objective shifts to achieving results with independent facility in fifth year. (2009)

• Tenth group started in July of this year.

– Defining Cx scope of work – Water-system opportunities – Air-system opportunities – Writing functional performance tests – Quantifying energy savings

• Guest lecturer at lunch

• Afternoon labs: “Voyage of Discovery” – Developing system diagrams – Setting up and analyzing trend data – Executing functional performance tests – Advanced calculations using excel

• Findings reported out at end of each workshop

Learning Objectives: Attendees will be able to… • benchmark a facility's annual energy use in Energy Star Portfolio Manager and Energy IQ.

• identify obvious indicators of EBCx opportunities as part of an initial facility walk-through.

• gather and analyze whole building interval data vs. simultaneous climate data.

• work with facility staff to gather information about facility performance, past repairs and other history.

• compare the accuracy of drawings and other documentation to the layout of a built system in the creation of system diagrams.

• recognize areas where data loggers will need to be installed to compliment EMS trend data.

• collect, analyze and diagnose EMS trend data or data from data loggers.

• write functional tests to verify the operation and performance of specific building systems.

• identify measurement equipment and other tools required to execute specific functional tests.

• plot field performance data on a pump curve.

• develop logic diagrams for a control sequence.

• develop a sequence of operation for the optimal control of equipment and systems.

• quantify the energy and financial savings of implementing EBCx measures.

• develop commissioning documentation including an EBCx scope of work, issues log and system manual.

The Ten Key EBCx Technical Skills 1. The ability to benchmark your facility and analyze its utility consumption patterns.

2. The ability to scope a facility and identify obvious indicators of opportunity to improve performance and/or resource consumption.

3. Familiarity with HVAC fundamentals (which is a fairly broad topic we realize).

4. Have a firm grasp of the system concept and be able to apply it to develop or mentor the development of system diagrams for key systems in your facility.

5. Be familiar with the trending capabilities of your control system and know how to supplement its capabilities with data loggers.

6. Be familiar with functional testing techniques and know how to develop and run a test targeted at providing the data you need to resolve operational issues or provide data that can be used to improve your operations and/or support projects.

7. Be familiar with data analysis techniques that will allow you to use the date you collect from your trends, data loggers and tests to support projects and resolve operating challenges.

8. Be familiar with basic HVAC and energy calculations so you can use the results of your data analysis to assess the cost and benefit of improvements you are proposing.

9. Be familiar with Return On Investment (ROI) calculations so you can present your projects in the best light to management and the investors behind your facility. In particular, be familiar with the nuances of the ROI process and the related spreadsheet.

10.Develop a competency with control systems, including a basic understanding of how they function as well as an understanding of how to go about procuring one that will meet the needs of your immediate project and the ongoing needs of your facility. This will includes having an understanding of the role point lists, narrative sequences, logic diagrams, detailed specifications, and system diagrams have in the control system procurement process.

• Students required to take pre-requisite: “RCx 101: Identifying and Assessing Common Retro-Cx Opportunities”.

• Students must commit to attending each session and stay for the duration. (Classes will begin at 8:30 am and finish at 4:30 pm.)

• Students must be willing to do homework each month (4-8 hours of work).

• Students will provide energy savings data for these independent projects at end of workshop series.

1. CWST increases

3. Delta T in the CW loop is small at most

times. Install VFD on the CW pumps?

4. OAWB varies, but CSWT does not.

Implement CWST reset routine based on OAWB? 2. Tower fan signal

increases to maintain 70F. Tower appears to be working as intended.

Success Elements

• Year-long structure

• Focus on existing buildings

• Pre-screen participants

• Generous Instructors

• Effort encourages low- and no- cost measures

• Require work outside of class time on project buildings

• Teaching facility is a learning lab

• High instructor to teacher ratio facilitates mentoring process

• To avoid double counting, it is best if energy savings relates to building tune-up opportunities (non-incented measures)

• Hold workshops for EBCx graduates to capture ongoing EBCx effort.
